German Table Manners.

Table manners are q continual surprise
to me. At first | thought that the Ell
quette had observed was peculiar to the
parties in whom I had noticed it, but q
friend who has had during the past year
considerable experience in north, south,
and west Germany says that it is the same
everywhere. The typical German cats
greedily, gets his head right over and close
to his plate, and shovcls in the soup with
roar; when he attacks tho second course
he catches the knife by the blade, and the
meat and vegetables have to suffer.
Napkins he tolerates, but hasn't much
use for them. Ny landlady, when first
came, occasionally used napkin, but
soon got tired of it, AMI now, after she
has taken q swallow OF beer, wipes her
mouth with the back Of her hand. My
friend says in LeipSic he saw a well
dressed German after dinner take his
table knife and trim his finger nails with
1t. | have myself seen a German cut the
end Of a cigar with the knife with which
he had few minutes before been eating.
There is better side to German table
manners. What l have related is more
noticeable because it is so at variance with
that part of table etiquette not directly
concerned with eating Every time one
seats himself 1T table here he is greeted in
the politcSt manner with the time of day
or wish for Il good appetite. The little
CuurIcSes of the table are asked for, re-
spOndcd to. and received with the kindest
expressions. Conversation is cheerfully
carried on, and When the meal is ended
and one arises from he table, the head of
the family says: ''BtcsSe! meal time;' or
MAY the meal agree with you. "-Heidel-
berg Cor. Boston Advertiser.

A well known painter who recently
made flying visit to the south, managed
to take 600 negatives, 500 of which he
claims can be of use to him. He carries
his box and number of plates with him.
If in carriage, he saw suitable subject
coming toward him, he would stop for O
moment as the object passed and quite
unsuspectingly take its picture. In the
streets of cities he was i'll the habit of
studying the faces of the negroes as they
approached him, and when of interest to
him would pause as the subject passed by.
When opposite to him he turned. the box
toward the individual, smilingly said,
"Good morning, auntie, " or GLOW do you
do, uncle?" and as they turned to answer
him courteously, or to remark, Don't
you auntie me- he touched the spring
and made record of the negros expires
sion and surroundings. To the artist
these stolen glimpses are of deepest inter-
est, and he develops the art of photog-
raphy particularly in this line. New

The Preservation of Ecps.

Australian eggs are preserved in the
following simple manner: The vessels in
which the eggs are to be placed are glass
jars with patent shoppers, vulcanized India
rubber joints making them perfectly air
tight. AS soon as the eggs have been col
lected, the jars are stood in hot water for
some time, and left until the air in them
has become thoroughly warm and rarified.
The jars having been heated, the eggs are
wrapped up in paper to prevent them
knocking together and placed in the warm
receptacle, their pointed ends being upper
most. The jars are Immediately closed
up, and then, and not until then, are re-
moved from the hot water. 1t is said that
if this process is skillfully carried out the
eggs will be as fit for the breakfast table
as the day they were laid many months
after they were put in the jars. The great
secret of success in carrying out this
method is no doubt to thoroughly heat the
air in the jars. The eggs will stand
better chance of keeping if the paper in
which they are packed is previously baked
and used warm. Patent stoppered Jars
are not absolutely necessary, any stopper
answering which effectually excludes the
sir-New York Market Journal.

They Knew the Flag.

I once saw young soldier who be-
longed to battery of artillery engaged in
patching the holes in his guidon "a mark
er's flag with cloth from the lining of his
uniform. When I asked him why he
spent so much time to mend that old flag
his answer was, that as we were so far
from the base of supplies he could not get
new one, and that when the battery
went into action with thirty-six horses
and six guns he always stuck the pike of
the guidon into the ground where the bat
terry was to form, and even if the man
who rode the leading horse was killed or
disabled and the noise of battle was so
great that the bugle call could not be
heard, the horses would wheel around the
flag and execute the maneuver known as
t'by left into line, - and bring the muzzles
of the six guns on line with the flag;
and then, as soon as the six guns were
numbered, he would again place it about
200 PAGES to the rear, and the horses would
gallop to the rear with the caissons and
halt again on a line with it.-Chicago
Journal.

A few days ago, while hunting antelope
on the divide between Horse and Adobe
creeks, came in sight of band of wolv es,
thirty or more, which were closely herd
ing about 200 head of range cattle My
curiosity to learn their object induced me
to remain a couple of days in seeing dis
lance to observe their actions. When my
attention was first drawn to the wolves
they were together i'll the rear of the cat
tie, but very soon they separated and sur
rounded the gradually outspreading herd
and chased the animals together. They
would then await the notions of an ap-
parent leader, who would run into the
bunch, cut out cali, when the rest would
rush to him, help throw and hastily tear
out its entrails. Thus mangled they
would leave 1t, separate, and run swiftly
to surround the now fleeing cattle, again
round them up, single out another calf,
throw and leave it in dying condition.
II any Of the older animals hung back and
showed fight they would be instantly ham
stringed and left thus disabled.
In no instance did the wolves seem dis
posed to further mutilate these old ami
mails. This maneuvering was repeated
time and ngain, until the wolves must
have satiated their taste for blood Then
these yarmints seemed to be inspired by
the teaching of the author, "Music hath
charms to soothe the savage breast" for
they would raise hideous howl, which
effect on the cattle was not satisfactory,
for they would trail out and try to get
away, when. they would again be chased
close together and held to await further
action. How large this bunch was when
the wolves first gathered them together
have no means of knowing, but am salts
fed that the wolves and cattle will be in
separable until the calves are all killed
Then think they will gather another and
again another bunch and kill all tn,
young. counted in two days eleven
calves, some yet alive, with their entrails
protruding from their sides, besides seven
large and older ones with their hind legs
rendered useless. -Elbert (Colo.) Tribune.

A FASHIONABLE CHRISTENING.
One of the Latest Fads Of Society in New
Observation-Disclosures.


Fashionable babies are christened at
home nowadays. Monday afternoon at
o'clock sharp a number of ladies and gen.
tlemen of the ton were gathered in an up
town drawing room. In the center of the
salon stood a small table decorated with
smilax and white rosebuds and bearing a
repousse silver bowl The clergyman and
the godparents took their places; the door
opened and a bustling parsonage in stiff
black silk appeared, bearing a bundle of
white lace and very large white satin
sash, somewhere within the folds of which
was hidden the extremely small, red speci-
men who was about to renounce the pomps
and vanities of this wicked world.
After the ceremony the little Christian
disappeared, and the doors were thrown
open for the slight refreshment demanded
at that hour. The table was decorated
with large oval mirror, around which
was massed bank of moss and smilax,
with center of Cornelia Cook rosebuds;
at every plate was placed little white
basket lined with silk and bound with
soft white ribbon, the ends painted in gold
letters, with the date and the name of the
small hostess, which, luckily for her, was
that sweetest of all vowel combinations,
IAANC. AACSC DdShcGS were WIFI
French mignonette and ''tea" buds.
Caudle was first served in small pink
cups, on which was painted a medallion
OF baby's head. But the feature of the
entertainment was babies in ice cream,
frozen stiff and fast, like so many little
dolls and resting on nests of spun glass.
Nobody had the heart to eat them or we
should be able to satisfy the curiosity
Weakened by Dean Swift, who, you will
remember, always felt he would like to
have had taste Of q tender young infant,
and gave great offense to the reviewers
by recommending them as an article of
diet
When we were leaving, each guest was
presented with a small box filed with
white almonds (Which go with christen-
ings as naturally as do caudle and raisins)
and big artificial rose-white to the
ladies and red to the gentlemen. Hang
ing from the stalk were three small for
eign gold coins, and In the center Of each
rose little silver baby was hidden, with
"Alice" engraved on its back The god
parents got blue roses and gold image

AN Absorbing TOPIC.
WHAT 6ERLlNERS THINK OF THE Ar
REST OF SCHNAE6ELES.

The Idea of War RidicuIed, tho Opinion
Being That the A flair VIII Be Adjusted
without Bioodshed - The Charges
Against Standardization Bright on
Protection-Ths Salerno Safe.
BERLIN, April 25.-The arrest aud inn
prisonment Of NJ. Schnaebeles is the allah
sorbing topic here. but the concensus of
opinion is that the affair will be adjusted
without bloodshed. The idea of war re-
sulting is ridiculed. NJ Schnaebeles, it is
learned, has been closely watchsd for a
month past by the German frontier officials
He is charged with having made frequent
secret visits to Metz, and with wing plotted
to stir up revolt among the Alsatians. The
officials claim to have ample evidence to sub
stantiate these charges NJ. Schnaebeles is
held close prisoner, and all communication
with him is strictly prohibited.
Schnaabelos' arrest is regarded by the
German press az piece of stupidity on the
part OF the polics. The public think that if
Bismarck wished to force o war with France
no would use more cunning means. The
manner in which the chancellor has dealt
with the Catholics shows that he has lost
none Of his cunning. and the Bsrliners con-
cluds that there will be no war at least not
on account of the arrest of Schnaebeles. If
war does come the Germans say it will be
provoked by France and not by Bismarck.

PARIS, April 25. The Nancy procurers
official report of Schnaebelss' arrest states
that Schnaebeles advanced few steps across
the frontier, and met an individual with
whom he began conversation, when a po-
Gceman in disguise seized him. An assist
ant of the policeman thon rushed out OF am
bush, and desperate struggle ensued.
Schnaebeies succeeded in escaping from his
captors and crossed to French territory, but
his aSsailants pursued him and dragged him
back despite his protests. They bound him
forcibly and led him away to prison.
LIE hatin newspaper says that the secre-
tary OF the German legation here has in
formed NJ Flourens, minister Of foreign at
fairs that NJ. Schnaebeles WAS arrested for
tempting German recruits to desert, and
that the offense was committed on German
territory The secretary assured NJ. Flour
ems that ample PREPARATION would be made if
it was proven that French soil had been vio-
lated

TELL NE TRUE.

Now the springing grasses spread
In pastures where the flags and willows grow
For the tender lambs bed;
And the bob-o- links are there,
Waking into song the air
OF the valley, in the sunlight all aglow.
There dainty sweet must be
The pale anemone,
There buttercups and crocus tinct with gold,
And roses, wild ana rare,
In the music breathing cir
Blush with secret love in whispers there has told.
o, children tell me true
Arc the skies as bright to you,
And the whmple Of the brook as soft and low.
AZ when l, without n care,
Gathered early cowslips there
In the splendor of the morning long agof
Then lead me by tho hand
Ger the pleasant, pleasant land,
Through orchards fair and meadows let US go;
But the hearts that beat with mine
In the days that seemed divine,
o, We dearlinss OF my soul, We cannot know.

Tho Use of Calendars.

I believe that the use of calendars as an
advertisement is purely an invention of
the devil, and should like to organize a
religious crusade against them. At all
hours of the day my Office is pcstered with
q continuous stream of boys, who seem to
feel that they have been defrauded out of
their just and natural rights if their re-
quest, or rather demand, is refused. They
rush in noisily, and either shut the door
with q bang that shakes the very floor and
sets the desks dancing, or they leave il
half open until the room is filled with
draughts of cold air, when the thermom-
eter without is perhaps several degrees
below zero OF course the companies
themselves are most to be blamed. They
vie with one another in getting up cards
that are really artistic, but l think it
questionable whether they do any good in
o business way, and l believe it about
time that the nuisance should be stopped.

more merciful method Of killing cats has
been found than to put with a long
